WEBVTT - Wake Up Australia with Mike Jeffreys - Monday 16th June 0:00:14.840 --> 0:00:19.680 On two GB for BC and network stations. This is 0:00:19.880 --> 0:00:22.600 Wake Up Australia with Mike Jeffries. 0:00:25.440 --> 0:00:29.280 Good morning, welcome along here. It is Monday morning, beginning 0:00:29.280 --> 0:00:31.560 of the week and all that. And if you just 0:00:32.000 --> 0:00:37.760 joined us, welcome to this portion of the segment, this 0:00:37.840 --> 0:00:41.839 segment of the program, portion of the show. What do 0:00:41.880 --> 0:00:45.080 you face? On the front pages the career mail, vile 0:00:45.280 --> 0:00:51.519 messages call for Israel's destruction, hate trends on TikTok and 0:00:51.880 --> 0:00:56.440 orerent call for Iran to quote unquote just do it 0:00:57.000 --> 0:00:59.400 and drop a nuclear bomb on Israel has been allowed 0:00:59.400 --> 0:01:03.880 to trend on TikTok, amassing one point four million views 0:01:04.760 --> 0:01:09.760 and sparking vile, racist comments. TikTok began removing the content 0:01:09.880 --> 0:01:14.280 only after questions from the Courier mail. We were talking 0:01:14.319 --> 0:01:20.320 earlier in the program about Iran versus Israel, and it 0:01:20.440 --> 0:01:23.080 was pointed out to me over the weekend. It's not 0:01:23.200 --> 0:01:27.320 that clear cut in that there are lots of people 0:01:27.440 --> 0:01:32.520 in Iran who do not like the present regime. They 0:01:32.600 --> 0:01:35.160 don't like the shift that occurred in the late seventies 0:01:35.200 --> 0:01:38.679 when they went from being well pretty much like a 0:01:38.720 --> 0:01:45.280 Western country to having the hardline Islamists take over. And 0:01:45.720 --> 0:01:49.520 if you look at pictures, particularly pictures of women who 0:01:49.680 --> 0:01:55.160 used to dress like women in the West suddenly being 0:01:55.320 --> 0:01:58.960 locked up by the morality police for not wearing head 0:01:59.000 --> 0:02:04.680 covering or whatever expected by the dictatorship and being locked 0:02:04.720 --> 0:02:08.639 up in jail, and stories about someone particularly coming to 0:02:08.720 --> 0:02:11.600 DBUS ends like the young lady who died in jail. 0:02:11.639 --> 0:02:17.120 It's only twenty two and the ruling class said, oh, 0:02:17.160 --> 0:02:19.000 she had a heart attack or something that people said 0:02:19.000 --> 0:02:21.720 she'd been beaten to death. So there are people in 0:02:21.760 --> 0:02:25.520 Iran who are helping people in Israel. And I guess 0:02:25.600 --> 0:02:28.480 when you think about it, that's not a surprise when 0:02:28.639 --> 0:02:33.520 you look at some of the pinpoint tactical strikes the 0:02:33.840 --> 0:02:40.240 Israelis have been able to make happen. Gary's called him 0:02:40.240 --> 0:02:41.480 from Brisbane morning Gary. 0:02:42.880 --> 0:02:49.160 Yes, good morning, Mike. Year Iran was formerly known as Persia, 0:02:49.240 --> 0:02:55.840 and I think after that hostage situation that was the 0:02:56.000 --> 0:02:59.399 end of Jimmy Carter's presidency. 0:03:00.120 --> 0:03:02.560 Yes, that's an interesting point about that era, wasn't it, 0:03:02.560 --> 0:03:06.280 Because we had somebody at the time a nice guy 0:03:06.880 --> 0:03:10.919 but not regarded as a strong man. But as soon 0:03:10.960 --> 0:03:13.560 as it was known that Reagan was going to be 0:03:13.639 --> 0:03:16.799 the next president. All of a sudden that seemed to 0:03:16.840 --> 0:03:17.880 resolve itself, didn't it. 0:03:19.280 --> 0:03:26.240 Yeah, well, Reagan basically was the governor of California based 0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:31.520 in Sacramento, and Bush Senior was going to run against him, 0:03:31.560 --> 0:03:36.200 so they decided to former union and ended up getting 0:03:36.280 --> 0:03:41.400 about twelve years in their presidency. Reagan got two terms 0:03:41.440 --> 0:03:43.120 and Bush Senior got one. 0:03:43.640 --> 0:03:45.800 Yeah, well, Ernie, I have two, as you know. But 0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:47.600 do you want to talk about alligators? 0:03:48.400 --> 0:03:51.080 Yeah, last time I was out of the States was 0:03:51.080 --> 0:03:53.640 two first twenty two. It was a way for ten weeks. 0:03:54.000 --> 0:03:58.480 So Masstis went in fired in Texas and for this 0:03:58.600 --> 0:04:05.520 family in Johnson's City and very much regus and the 0:04:05.600 --> 0:04:07.760 male said, oh, we're done on a fishing trip down 0:04:07.760 --> 0:04:11.360 to Three Rivers, which is just not too far from 0:04:11.400 --> 0:04:17.040 San Antonio, and end up down there. There's about four 0:04:17.440 --> 0:04:22.359 four or five launches, and the whole river system was 0:04:22.520 --> 0:04:26.920 alligator in Peston and catching fish and all that sort 0:04:26.960 --> 0:04:31.560 of stuff. We're doing a different methods. Come across an 0:04:31.600 --> 0:04:36.680 area there where I saw a couple of ball alligators 0:04:36.800 --> 0:04:41.760 rising out of the water having a fight over a female. 0:04:42.279 --> 0:04:44.360 Spectacular it was, but you wouldn't have want. 0:04:44.200 --> 0:04:46.520 To fly no, indeed. 0:04:47.760 --> 0:04:50.719 Yeah, but it's interesting when you see that sort of thing. 0:04:50.800 --> 0:04:54.160 But then a couple of days later, I was in 0:04:54.800 --> 0:04:59.200 Randolph Air Force Space watching the US Air Force Thunderbirds. 0:04:59.320 --> 0:05:02.280 Do they shows second time I've seen them very spectaticularly, 0:05:05.360 --> 0:05:08.799 you know that thing of Todd Gun, all that aerobatic 0:05:08.880 --> 0:05:13.080 stuff that was done by the US Navy Marines aerobatic 0:05:13.200 --> 0:05:19.440 Then you're aware of that yet dimly. Yeah, yeah, Tom Cruise, 0:05:19.920 --> 0:05:21.760 he might be able to fly light aircraft, but he 0:05:21.800 --> 0:05:30.880 couldn't remove one of those high speed gets. It's interesting. 0:05:31.640 --> 0:05:35.200 I'm interested in seeing what's going to happen in Alberta. 0:05:35.839 --> 0:05:41.560 I've been Alberta a few times. When our so called 0:05:41.960 --> 0:05:45.640 leader here fronts up at the G seven, it's going 0:05:45.680 --> 0:05:49.480 to be entertainment, I think, because I think the Donald 0:05:50.040 --> 0:05:52.440 chewing him up and spreed him out. Yeah. 0:05:52.480 --> 0:05:54.520 I'm going to talk to a G. Gankawski a bit 0:05:54.600 --> 0:05:56.880 later in the morning and get his take on what 0:05:56.960 --> 0:06:02.280 he thinks is likely to happen there, because Elbow keeps saying, oh, 0:06:02.360 --> 0:06:07.200 we're friends, but I think Trump wants something more than that. 0:06:07.320 --> 0:06:11.320 When he expects all the allies to pay their way 0:06:11.760 --> 0:06:12.560 when it comes. 0:06:12.320 --> 0:06:16.039 To defense, well, It's like any think if if I 0:06:16.120 --> 0:06:19.880 lend you money, you lend me money. We expect a 0:06:20.040 --> 0:06:21.720 date to something. 0:06:21.480 --> 0:06:22.160 To be paid. 0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:25.719 What a lot of people don't realize. We've got a 0:06:25.760 --> 0:06:30.240 ten percent GSC here UK has got a twenty percent 0:06:30.400 --> 0:06:38.600 vat now now national that he is I'd say, realistically, 0:06:39.120 --> 0:06:41.160 he's in the tree and it's not one half or 0:06:41.240 --> 0:06:46.760 one point one three. And I think it's. 0:06:45.120 --> 0:06:46.839 Seems going to be trillion. 0:06:46.920 --> 0:06:51.120 Yeah, I think it's much more than matter. I think 0:06:52.200 --> 0:06:56.560 you look at a Watermelon County canbra. I spent two 0:06:56.640 --> 0:07:00.159 teams with the Navy. It's not it wasn't as bad 0:07:00.200 --> 0:07:03.040 then as well is there. But I think they seem 0:07:03.080 --> 0:07:09.080 to have their whole administration, the public service bureaucracy under 0:07:09.080 --> 0:07:12.160 their farm. And yes, yes a three bags four and 0:07:13.080 --> 0:07:16.760 no one ever ever doesn't ordered on the speling. 0:07:17.560 --> 0:07:19.800 Well. I did mention a story on the front page 0:07:19.840 --> 0:07:22.800 of the Camberra Times here about the amount of taxpayers 0:07:22.840 --> 0:07:26.280 dollars that are going to these big tech companies that 0:07:26.440 --> 0:07:29.240 Elbow is spooking at the moment, is wanting to invest 0:07:29.280 --> 0:07:34.280 all this money in this country. But that's an interesting 0:07:34.280 --> 0:07:36.560 story in itself, and we will see more pretty soon. 0:07:36.680 --> 0:07:39.240 With albo v Trump. But because if I were a 0:07:39.280 --> 0:07:41.840 gambling man, and I am to a certain extent, I 0:07:41.880 --> 0:07:44.680 put my money on Trump. Anyway, Gary appreciates you call. 0:07:44.840 --> 0:07:45.640 Thank you for ringing. 0:07:46.640 --> 0:07:46.960 Thank you. 0:07:47.360 --> 0:07:50.880 Okay, take some more calls later if you want to ring. 0:07:52.040 --> 0:07:54.320 Just musing on that conversation with Gary talking about the 0:07:54.360 --> 0:07:59.480 alligators in the southern part of the US. You know, 0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:02.360 people talk about Australia and the things that will bite 0:08:02.360 --> 0:08:05.119 you or maybe killer, you know, spiders and snakes and things. 0:08:05.480 --> 0:08:08.280 But I've got a story here about two alligators being 0:08:08.320 --> 0:08:13.280 removed from home swimming pools in a single day in 0:08:13.320 --> 0:08:17.080 a Florida county. Yes, you don't want to see an 0:08:17.160 --> 0:08:22.240 Eastern brown near the pool, but an alligator in the pool. 0:08:22.800 --> 0:08:26.840 Or what about a bear being trapped after using doughnuts 0:08:27.560 --> 0:08:30.840 and then taking a soak in a hot tub. You 0:08:30.840 --> 0:08:33.040 don't want to see a big brown bear coming out 0:08:33.040 --> 0:08:35.640 of your hot tub, do you so? Yes, we do 0:08:35.760 --> 0:08:38.960 have spiders and snakes, but maybe it could be worse. 0:08:41.520 --> 0:08:46.680 TV panel shows facing Extinction to comment further on this, 0:08:46.880 --> 0:08:51.480 Media Commentator Managing director of Media Stable Nick Hayes, Morning Neck, 0:08:51.480 --> 0:08:52.200 Thanks for doing this. 0:08:52.679 --> 0:08:53.439 Good morning Mike. 0:08:53.480 --> 0:08:57.280 Good to be with You now. Q and A got axed, 0:08:57.440 --> 0:09:00.520 although this is very ABC. It was actually picking up 0:09:00.520 --> 0:09:04.360 in the numbers, I believe, but got axed anyway, and 0:09:04.720 --> 0:09:07.160 Ten's decided to end the project. And people have been 0:09:07.240 --> 0:09:10.439 predicting the end of ten for a very long time. 0:09:10.600 --> 0:09:14.560 The drum was given the chop. So the sports panel 0:09:14.640 --> 0:09:20.960 shows they're going great, but political discussion panel shows not 0:09:21.160 --> 0:09:23.760 so much. Why do you think are they too dull? 0:09:23.800 --> 0:09:24.320 What is it? 0:09:25.200 --> 0:09:27.920 I don't think necessarily it's dull. I think it's mainly 0:09:28.040 --> 0:09:31.960 come down to cost, cost of putting programs together. Let's 0:09:31.960 --> 0:09:34.080 have a quick look at the project. There's a lot 0:09:34.080 --> 0:09:36.760 of paychecks that have to sit on that panel. You know, 0:09:36.880 --> 0:09:43.000 anything between four and sometimes five panel members on the project, 0:09:43.280 --> 0:09:48.160 and it's not cheap TV to do. When the project 0:09:48.200 --> 0:09:50.719 first kicked off, it was almost a spin off off 0:09:50.720 --> 0:09:52.840 the panel. Do you remember the panel, Mike, Yes, I do. 0:09:53.080 --> 0:09:54.200 Yeah, Yeah. 0:09:54.280 --> 0:09:56.040 That was a ripper of a show that was a 0:09:56.120 --> 0:09:59.839 once a week show and it was very sort of 0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:04.560 for medic different look at news and a little bit 0:10:04.559 --> 0:10:07.000 of fun. A lot of show business around it as well. 0:10:07.400 --> 0:10:11.600 But when the project kicked off, it was a Monday 0:10:11.640 --> 0:10:15.520 to Friday then went on to Sunday. It was originally 0:10:15.720 --> 0:10:21.080 only used and filmed out of Melbourne now Melbourne and Sydney, 0:10:21.960 --> 0:10:26.000 and it just became a very costly program to put together. 0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:28.760 There's up to one hundred staff members that were involved 0:10:28.800 --> 0:10:32.440 in the project week by week, and fifty of them, 0:10:32.480 --> 0:10:34.600 as we know now, are going to lose their jobs 0:10:34.600 --> 0:10:37.480 and fifty of them will be moved around. It is 0:10:37.720 --> 0:10:40.440 just a costly program to put together. 0:10:41.040 --> 0:10:44.160 I tell you what I don't mind. I do seek 0:10:44.160 --> 0:10:46.920 it out on Channel ten and that's that show, the 0:10:47.040 --> 0:10:49.400 Cheap Seats. Have you seen that? I guess you have. 0:10:50.120 --> 0:10:52.959 Yeah, I have. I'm looking forward to hearing or seeing 0:10:52.960 --> 0:10:57.280 myself on there one day. No, it's a little bit 0:10:57.280 --> 0:11:03.520 of fun. It's comedy again. But I think sometimes Mike 0:11:03.600 --> 0:11:05.520 could be interesting to you from your listeners. I think 0:11:05.520 --> 0:11:09.360 that I've spoken to many people around the country around 0:11:09.520 --> 0:11:11.640 the sort of the fall of the panel shows is 0:11:11.679 --> 0:11:16.160 that they saw the projectors being in verta Commas two woke. 0:11:17.360 --> 0:11:20.400 A lot of them didn't like Wali Dali. They liked 0:11:20.520 --> 0:11:22.959 the sort of the former presenters that were there, the 0:11:23.040 --> 0:11:28.600 Charlie Pickerings that carry Bickmore's the Dave Hughes's the original format, 0:11:29.120 --> 0:11:33.080 but they tended to look at the show as being 0:11:33.160 --> 0:11:37.320 a little bit dealing with issues that were probably more 0:11:37.360 --> 0:11:42.520 First Nations. They were probably to do with the environment. 0:11:42.679 --> 0:11:45.840 They felt like they were being talked down to, and 0:11:45.880 --> 0:11:48.200 that was one of the problems. I suppose that a 0:11:48.280 --> 0:11:52.080 lot of viewers were turning off, and the numbers were 0:11:52.080 --> 0:11:54.760 certainly dwindling. In the heyday of the project, it was 0:11:54.840 --> 0:11:57.240 hitting one point one to one point two million people, 0:11:57.679 --> 0:11:58.840 but it was well below that. 0:12:00.280 --> 0:12:04.000 Talking about what you get and the wokeness, you would 0:12:04.000 --> 0:12:07.160 be aware of the fact that Greg Guttfeld, with his 0:12:07.240 --> 0:12:12.160 show on Fox in the US, is outrating the other 0:12:12.400 --> 0:12:17.439 high profile late night talk shows. He's got more viewers 0:12:17.440 --> 0:12:19.480 than them put together as far as I know, but 0:12:19.679 --> 0:12:23.520 he's certainly outrating them all. But they're all pretty woke. 0:12:23.840 --> 0:12:28.280 They're the old style American format, which I'm not saying 0:12:28.600 --> 0:12:32.679 is a bad thing, But the stuff that Gutfeld puts 0:12:32.720 --> 0:12:38.800 to air, I couldn't see executives here allowing that. Could you. 0:12:39.640 --> 0:12:43.760 No, definitely not. I think there is a term. I 0:12:43.840 --> 0:12:46.240 know we use woke a little bit, we use right wing. 0:12:46.360 --> 0:12:51.160 We will use conservative media quite a lot. I think 0:12:51.240 --> 0:12:54.880 the Australian media can't really handle that kind of thing. 0:12:54.960 --> 0:12:57.680 If it's doing very well, it's because it's appealing to 0:12:57.720 --> 0:13:00.679 a particular audience, an audience that either fields that hasn't 0:13:00.720 --> 0:13:03.480 been heard before or is looking for an audience that 0:13:04.400 --> 0:13:06.920 he wants to know almost you know, that rubber necking. 0:13:06.920 --> 0:13:09.079 When they see an accident, they just can't take their 0:13:09.080 --> 0:13:13.480 eyes off it. It's that kind of attraction that they 0:13:13.600 --> 0:13:15.520 just want to go, what are they going to say next? 0:13:16.320 --> 0:13:18.200 Shock jock? You know, So the death of the shock 0:13:18.280 --> 0:13:21.240 jock in radio happens, and I think that Australian media 0:13:21.320 --> 0:13:24.439 doesn't really cope well with too much shock. There's not 0:13:24.520 --> 0:13:26.880 a lot of substance there. And at the end of 0:13:26.880 --> 0:13:29.720 the day, we just want to be educated, informed, or 0:13:29.760 --> 0:13:33.280 at least given some views to help us form our 0:13:33.320 --> 0:13:36.360 own opinions. And that's the beauty I think of Australian 0:13:36.440 --> 0:13:38.560 media is that we do provide a lot of that. 0:13:38.800 --> 0:13:42.720 People have got choice as where to go. In America, 0:13:42.840 --> 0:13:46.400 it's a completely different game, and particularly if the precedents 0:13:46.640 --> 0:13:50.760 sitting over there and encouraging a different format, he's encouraging 0:13:50.760 --> 0:13:51.480 different views. 0:13:52.480 --> 0:13:56.640 Yes, mind you, it does depend a lot on the host. 0:13:56.880 --> 0:14:01.400 I think I remember going to see Jhnnie Carson live 0:14:01.679 --> 0:14:06.800 way back and he just understood the medium so well. 0:14:07.000 --> 0:14:09.280 In fact, the night I went to see him live, 0:14:09.840 --> 0:14:12.120 I thought, I've come on a quiet night. But when 0:14:12.160 --> 0:14:14.600 I went back to the motel, because you know it 0:14:14.679 --> 0:14:18.200 was recorded for live, as they say in America, but 0:14:18.240 --> 0:14:21.320 when I went back to the motel, it was exactly right. 0:14:21.840 --> 0:14:26.200 Although Johnny got very cross with a guest. A guest 0:14:26.320 --> 0:14:29.120 was pushing something political Johnny didn't want to know about, 0:14:29.240 --> 0:14:32.960 and you could see was getting cross And so after 0:14:33.000 --> 0:14:37.480 the show had finished ed McMahon came out and said, oh, 0:14:37.560 --> 0:14:40.520 can we ask you to pretend that the show's starting again. 0:14:41.280 --> 0:14:45.000 So they started again and when the show finally went 0:14:45.040 --> 0:14:47.760 to a, it did not include the guest that was 0:14:47.840 --> 0:14:49.520 doing what Johnny thought was inappropriate. 0:14:50.520 --> 0:14:53.640 Yeah, and look, you know we've got we'd got a 0:14:53.800 --> 0:14:56.120 very broad range of media here in Australia, and I 0:14:56.120 --> 0:15:00.320 think a lot of the criticism, particularly ran ab CQ 0:15:00.440 --> 0:15:03.480 and A was coming from Sky News or coming from 0:15:03.600 --> 0:15:06.320 Sky as we refer to it after Dark, a very 0:15:06.360 --> 0:15:11.880 conservative approach to media. They would have a crack and 0:15:12.480 --> 0:15:16.000 the avc's Media Watch would very much be looking at 0:15:16.000 --> 0:15:19.600 what's going on at the Sky News, having little DIBs 0:15:19.640 --> 0:15:22.600 at each other and questioning their values. I suppose their 0:15:22.680 --> 0:15:23.840 bias if you like. 0:15:25.560 --> 0:15:25.720 That. 0:15:25.760 --> 0:15:27.920 We have that in Australia, and the beauty of it 0:15:28.120 --> 0:15:30.120 I love about it is the fact that we can 0:15:30.200 --> 0:15:33.360 make decisions and choices as to who we consume. I 0:15:33.440 --> 0:15:35.960 get worried, Mike when I hear just someone just listening 0:15:35.960 --> 0:15:39.800 to one form of media or not really taking in 0:15:39.920 --> 0:15:42.800 all that is around. It just helps them shape fame 0:15:42.880 --> 0:15:46.240 and their opinion and position a little bit better. And 0:15:46.280 --> 0:15:48.720 that's the scary thing with social media, Mike, is the 0:15:48.760 --> 0:15:50.960 fact that a lot of people get into their silos 0:15:51.440 --> 0:15:53.960 and just think and hear and think that this is 0:15:53.960 --> 0:15:56.880 the one and only true message when there's just so 0:15:57.080 --> 0:15:57.920 much out there. 0:15:58.520 --> 0:16:02.680 Well, over the years, I have advised my listeners to 0:16:02.720 --> 0:16:05.640 get their information from a variety of sources. I don't 0:16:05.640 --> 0:16:08.160 know whether my employers have appreciated me doing other or no. 0:16:09.160 --> 0:16:12.520 Well, no, you just think with Mike Jeffries, everyone, you're 0:16:12.560 --> 0:16:14.960 doing well listening to Mike, but you know in the 0:16:14.960 --> 0:16:18.760 morning they'll be listening across the other two GB programs 0:16:18.800 --> 0:16:22.640 and across the other spectrums of media that are out 0:16:22.680 --> 0:16:27.240 there and just getting good sound information to be able 0:16:27.240 --> 0:16:29.800 to make your own choice and decision, because that's what 0:16:29.800 --> 0:16:31.760 we want. We don't want to be dictated to or 0:16:31.880 --> 0:16:34.880 told how to think or what to do. We just 0:16:35.000 --> 0:16:37.880 want enough information to be able to make our own decisions. 0:16:38.520 --> 0:16:42.520 Yes, I actually you've wrote that as a positioning statement 0:16:42.720 --> 0:16:46.840 for a radio station. When I was the PD, I said, 0:16:47.040 --> 0:16:49.280 we tell you what's going on, not what to think. 0:16:50.080 --> 0:16:50.320 Yeah. 0:16:50.360 --> 0:16:52.760 I love that. I used to work for a media 0:16:52.800 --> 0:16:56.720 monitoring company and we used to give you news you need, 0:16:57.600 --> 0:17:00.000 not necessarily news you want, and I think too much 0:17:00.080 --> 0:17:02.560 of us at the moment are just seeking out, particularly 0:17:02.640 --> 0:17:05.359 on social media, and the younger folk that are running around, 0:17:05.440 --> 0:17:08.959 they're just getting the news they want and not necessarily 0:17:09.000 --> 0:17:09.800 the news they need. 0:17:10.000 --> 0:17:14.119 What's reaffirming their views. By the way, here's a question 0:17:14.200 --> 0:17:17.160 without notice for you. But you took us down that path. 0:17:17.200 --> 0:17:20.639 You're on a media watch. I don't normally watch media watch, 0:17:20.960 --> 0:17:23.880 but I've watched it the last two or three weeks, 0:17:24.400 --> 0:17:27.239 and it doesn't look like media watch to me. It 0:17:27.320 --> 0:17:31.959 looks like Linton Besse is giving you a digest of 0:17:32.000 --> 0:17:34.080 what he thought was the news during the week. 0:17:34.880 --> 0:17:39.080 Yeah, Linton, since taking over, I watch it religiously market 0:17:39.760 --> 0:17:40.760 It's part of what I do. 0:17:40.840 --> 0:17:43.080 But yeah, it. 0:17:43.000 --> 0:17:45.640 Has taken on and it's almost getting a little bit 0:17:45.840 --> 0:17:52.040 too even the bias level. I suppose that he focuses 0:17:52.080 --> 0:17:57.200 on the commercial networks. He's really going hammer and tong 0:17:57.280 --> 0:18:01.520 on that. I've got to say, Linton, I know he'll 0:18:01.560 --> 0:18:04.840 be listening because they listen to everything. Yeah, I'm not 0:18:04.920 --> 0:18:06.840 a fan of the show at the moment, but I 0:18:06.840 --> 0:18:09.360 think he's also just trying to find his feet. There's 0:18:09.520 --> 0:18:12.520 a long track record of Media Watch that's been on 0:18:12.560 --> 0:18:15.720 and I think the program itself does hold a lot 0:18:15.720 --> 0:18:18.560 of media to account. In fact, many in the media 0:18:18.600 --> 0:18:20.640 will say, you've never been in the media unless you've 0:18:20.640 --> 0:18:27.159 been on Media Watch or been questioned. But look, I 0:18:27.160 --> 0:18:29.639 think they do a good job. Just a lot of 0:18:29.680 --> 0:18:33.159 media sometimes don't want to be how to account, and 0:18:33.200 --> 0:18:34.919 I think we've got to hold everyone to account. And 0:18:34.920 --> 0:18:38.080 that's the beauty of media that we are regulated, we 0:18:38.160 --> 0:18:43.440 are looked at. And look, that's why I'll always get 0:18:43.440 --> 0:18:47.080 my news from mainstream media as opposed to social media, 0:18:47.160 --> 0:18:50.760 because I know what I'm getting. I don't know what 0:18:50.760 --> 0:18:52.560 I'm getting on the social Media Side. 0:18:52.880 --> 0:18:55.160 You're right about Media Watch. It's changed a lot over 0:18:55.200 --> 0:18:57.440 the years, and may I say it's come a long 0:18:57.520 --> 0:19:03.119 way from Disgusted of Tonridge Wells that was its original 0:19:03.200 --> 0:19:05.320 BBC name. Did you know that? 0:19:05.840 --> 0:19:05.959 No? 0:19:06.080 --> 0:19:09.480 I did not, And I look, you know, I always 0:19:09.560 --> 0:19:12.000 laugh at the people that sort of well, I don't 0:19:12.040 --> 0:19:15.520 always laugh, but I sometimes question why people are so 0:19:15.640 --> 0:19:17.800 upset when they see themselves on there, and how they 0:19:17.840 --> 0:19:20.199 react and respond to it. I mean even I've had 0:19:20.240 --> 0:19:23.840 a text message from Linton regarding a particular segment that 0:19:24.040 --> 0:19:27.199 was on. You know, you deal and you work with it, 0:19:27.240 --> 0:19:29.480 but I also say, if we're not rocking the boat, 0:19:29.480 --> 0:19:32.080 if we're not rattling the trees a little bit, are 0:19:32.200 --> 0:19:33.920 we really doing our jobs anyway? 0:19:34.119 --> 0:19:35.400 Hey, I'm with you on that. 0:19:35.520 --> 0:19:38.680 Yes, yeah, So I think it's sometimes it is a 0:19:38.720 --> 0:19:40.840 little bit of a badge of honor being appearing on 0:19:41.200 --> 0:19:43.440 Media Watch. It's how you work and deal with them 0:19:43.520 --> 0:19:46.320 and how you onto it is a real reflection of 0:19:46.359 --> 0:19:46.760 the brand. 0:19:47.359 --> 0:19:49.400 Nick, appreciate your time and comments. Thank you for coming 0:19:49.400 --> 0:19:53.200 on the program. Thanks by Nick Kay's media commentator, Managing 0:19:53.280 --> 0:19:57.440 director of Media Stable and now on Wake Up. 0:19:57.359 --> 0:20:00.760 Australia News Today. 0:20:00.880 --> 0:20:02.720 Yes it is, and here with that news for you 0:20:02.920 --> 0:20:05.520 is Sessha. Foot Morning, Sessa, Good morning Mike. 0:20:05.680 --> 0:20:05.880 More. 0:20:05.920 --> 0:20:09.280 Explosions have been heard over the skies of Jerusalem and 0:20:09.400 --> 0:20:13.439 Tel Aviv around State TV says it's launching tens of 0:20:13.480 --> 0:20:16.760 missiles and drones into the country, which it claims has 0:20:16.880 --> 0:20:21.440 intercepted layers of Israeli defense systems. New South Wales police 0:20:21.600 --> 0:20:25.199 are scouring bushland in Sydney's West after a body was 0:20:25.240 --> 0:20:29.119 found in a reserve at Warrington. Detectives have confirmed a 0:20:29.200 --> 0:20:32.280 number of items, including clothing, were found near the body, 0:20:32.480 --> 0:20:34.480 which is believed to have been left there for a 0:20:34.560 --> 0:20:37.800 period of time. And a man has been killed when 0:20:37.840 --> 0:20:41.879 a motorcyclist collided with a Toyota Corolla at an intersection 0:20:42.040 --> 0:20:45.360 in Logan. The fifty seven year old cyclist was declared 0:20:45.400 --> 0:20:48.080 dead at the scene. The driver of the car was 0:20:48.119 --> 0:20:51.399 taken to hospital for assessment. Mike more news at the 0:20:51.400 --> 0:20:52.080 top of the hour. 0:20:52.359 --> 0:20:55.959 Thank you, Sessha. Now to the three AW newsroom and 0:20:56.040 --> 0:20:57.800 Gail Watson, good morning girl. 0:20:58.119 --> 0:21:01.480 Good morning Well. Victorian GPS want the right to diagnose 0:21:01.600 --> 0:21:05.760 ADHD and prescribe medication for it, in line with other 0:21:05.840 --> 0:21:08.640 states and mid concerns it's taking too long to get 0:21:08.640 --> 0:21:13.080 an appointment with a psychiatrist. Criminals could have their phones 0:21:13.320 --> 0:21:18.359 and encrypted devices seized under sweeping new Victorian organized crime 0:21:18.440 --> 0:21:21.760 laws coming into force in two months, and motorbikes could 0:21:21.800 --> 0:21:25.560 be allowed in Melbourne bus lanes. Trials at several inner 0:21:25.560 --> 0:21:28.800 city locations have been completed and a draft report is 0:21:28.840 --> 0:21:29.800 now being prepared. 0:21:30.880 --> 0:21:34.280 Thank you, Gail. Now, I'm just looking at some of 0:21:34.320 --> 0:21:38.320 the texts here. We were doing a piece on relationships 0:21:38.440 --> 0:21:41.920 before the four o'clock news and it struck a chord 0:21:41.960 --> 0:21:45.960 with Sharon, who said she was in a relationship like 0:21:46.200 --> 0:21:49.000 one of the ones described didn't want to be. It 0:21:49.040 --> 0:21:55.040 was like an unexploded bomb. And Sharon now says, looking 0:21:55.080 --> 0:21:58.320 for someone who likes to prune trees, bike, ride and 0:21:58.359 --> 0:22:04.280 walk and cook, who has Netflix? Yeah, yeah, what do 0:22:04.320 --> 0:22:08.440 you think? What was that thing that will she used 0:22:08.440 --> 0:22:12.240 to do Midnight Matchmaker? No, no, no, there's plenty of 0:22:12.240 --> 0:22:15.520 other platforms doing that sort of thing. But anyway, that's 0:22:15.560 --> 0:22:20.520 what Sharon is looking for in a partner. Talking about 0:22:20.600 --> 0:22:23.000 dangerous things in Australia, Peter says the most dangerous thing 0:22:23.000 --> 0:22:24.800 in Australia that will hurt us all at the moment, 0:22:24.880 --> 0:22:31.360 is Alban easy? That's what Peter from Bankstown says. Davo says, 0:22:31.520 --> 0:22:34.240 wonder if Albo will give mister Trump a South's jersey 0:22:34.800 --> 0:22:37.760 to sweeten the deal? Do you think that had worked? 0:22:37.760 --> 0:22:43.679 Over and us talking about Iran earlier and making the 0:22:43.720 --> 0:22:45.520 point that there are a lot of people in Iran 0:22:45.560 --> 0:22:51.440 who would like to see regime change and very likely 0:22:51.480 --> 0:22:58.920 assisting the Israelis with information. Jeff from Ladley in Queensland says, Mike, 0:22:58.920 --> 0:23:01.480 I traveled through around many years ago when the showers 0:23:01.520 --> 0:23:04.240 still rained, probably the most beautiful women I've ever seen, 0:23:04.840 --> 0:23:09.200 piercing aquamarine eyes, had the most modern public transport system, 0:23:09.920 --> 0:23:13.960 then wound the clock back a thousand years tragic. Yes, 0:23:14.119 --> 0:23:17.879 I agree with you about what happened there, and I 0:23:17.880 --> 0:23:20.439 think it's entirely likely as people are suggesting to me 0:23:20.560 --> 0:23:26.360 that maybe these radies are getting some significant help from 0:23:26.640 --> 0:23:28.760 people who, as I say, are not happy with the 0:23:28.760 --> 0:23:32.760 government they have in Iran. The lengths should that be 0:23:32.920 --> 0:23:37.119 the tallness short? Men will go for love now. I 0:23:37.160 --> 0:23:39.600 read a piece about this the other day, but to 0:23:39.840 --> 0:23:44.160 comment further. Dating coach and founder of Aligned Connections, Karina 0:23:44.240 --> 0:23:46.040 Chapman Good morning, Karina, thanks for doing this. 0:23:46.680 --> 0:23:47.240 Good morning. 0:23:47.800 --> 0:23:55.360 So short, guys, try harder. Apparently some ernest institution did 0:23:55.400 --> 0:23:59.280 a study and decided that something we've all suspect, always suspected, 0:23:59.359 --> 0:24:02.120 is actually correct. And you want to see a movie 0:24:03.320 --> 0:24:07.680 called The Materialist, And I haven't seen the movie, but 0:24:07.760 --> 0:24:10.280 I gathered there's a matchmaker in there, and you were 0:24:10.320 --> 0:24:14.440 intrigued by what is deemed as ticking all the boxes. 0:24:14.880 --> 0:24:19.320 Explain that's right. I was interested to see what they 0:24:19.880 --> 0:24:23.040 were putting out their own movies, as to what matchmakers 0:24:23.040 --> 0:24:26.719 were looking at for people to connect on. And of course, 0:24:26.880 --> 0:24:29.399 as I suspected, being a movie, it was all about, 0:24:29.480 --> 0:24:33.080 you know, good looks and wealth and things that maybe 0:24:33.880 --> 0:24:38.879 went always the most important important. However, the maker herself 0:24:39.080 --> 0:24:41.520 went on a date with a very wealthy guy and 0:24:41.640 --> 0:24:45.239 noticed that he had some scars on his legs and 0:24:45.280 --> 0:24:47.560 he was quite secretive about it, and further on in 0:24:47.560 --> 0:24:49.560 the movie she finds out that he's had this leg 0:24:49.680 --> 0:24:53.080 lengthening surgery and he started out at five point six 0:24:53.600 --> 0:24:55.119 and grew an extra six inches. 0:24:55.400 --> 0:24:58.719 That's a lot. I wonder, did they really lengthen your 0:24:58.760 --> 0:24:59.720 legs that much? 0:25:00.960 --> 0:25:04.680 They can actually apparently they can do three to four 0:25:04.720 --> 0:25:09.040 inches on the femurs and three inches on your lower carbs, 0:25:10.040 --> 0:25:12.240 so they can. But I think it's a very long 0:25:12.400 --> 0:25:13.840 process and very painful. 0:25:14.359 --> 0:25:17.600 God, and what do they do. They put titanium splints 0:25:17.600 --> 0:25:18.120 in assembly. 0:25:19.240 --> 0:25:22.600 Yeah, they break surgically break the bone, and then they 0:25:23.119 --> 0:25:25.639 put like I suppose, a metal cage on the outside 0:25:26.359 --> 0:25:30.160 and screw that to sort of try and lengthen over 0:25:30.280 --> 0:25:32.960 time so that the bone will grow back longer. So 0:25:32.960 --> 0:25:36.720 it sounds quite painful and nasty, but obviously for some 0:25:36.920 --> 0:25:37.439 it's worth it. 0:25:38.160 --> 0:25:42.159 I was you're talking about the movies and height. You 0:25:42.200 --> 0:25:47.320 can find this on the old internets. There are photos 0:25:47.560 --> 0:25:50.560 of some of the stars, some of them fairly recent, 0:25:51.400 --> 0:25:55.440 wearing these huge elevated things on their shoes. Like there's 0:25:55.880 --> 0:25:59.600 Humphrey Bogart and these big elevators which are just strapped 0:25:59.600 --> 0:26:03.720 to his shoes. There's another one with De Niros standing 0:26:03.760 --> 0:26:08.240 next to al Pacino and DeNiro's wearing these platform boots, 0:26:08.760 --> 0:26:11.720 which wouldn't have been out of place in the nineteen seventies. 0:26:11.760 --> 0:26:15.280 In fact, I think they're probably taller than the platforms 0:26:15.359 --> 0:26:19.160 we wore even then, and this is so they can 0:26:19.200 --> 0:26:25.160 look tall, particularly when standing next to the ladies. So okay, 0:26:25.680 --> 0:26:28.520 there's value in what should be valued, and I guess 0:26:28.520 --> 0:26:30.919 you can tell me how you see that. But it 0:26:30.960 --> 0:26:35.080 seems like there's some kind of atavistic thing going on 0:26:35.280 --> 0:26:38.720 here that the ladies do want a tall guy, or 0:26:38.720 --> 0:26:40.159 at least taller than themselves. 0:26:41.200 --> 0:26:44.399 Yes, I would say the majority of women do like that, 0:26:44.600 --> 0:26:47.880 But there are definitely those that it doesn't bother them 0:26:48.240 --> 0:26:50.200 and they don't care if they're dating a short guy. 0:26:50.280 --> 0:26:53.720 They're well heels, they're quite confident and it doesn't bother them, 0:26:53.720 --> 0:26:57.080 and that's great. But for a lot of women, they 0:26:57.119 --> 0:26:59.560 do have this thing that they don't want to be 0:26:59.600 --> 0:27:03.040 the tall Perhaps we feel like if it's the woman 0:27:03.080 --> 0:27:05.240 that's the tallest when they come upon some trouble, maybe 0:27:05.280 --> 0:27:08.200 we're supposed to step in front to sort the trouble 0:27:08.240 --> 0:27:10.600 out and protect the guy. And maybe that's why they 0:27:10.720 --> 0:27:12.480 like someone taller to Well, that would have. 0:27:12.480 --> 0:27:15.359 Been my guest that they want a tall guy because 0:27:15.359 --> 0:27:19.359 he's a big guy who can protect them. I mean, 0:27:19.400 --> 0:27:20.919 if we keep going in the story action, we're going 0:27:20.960 --> 0:27:25.080 to stray into why women marry thugs, because exactly I'm 0:27:25.119 --> 0:27:28.760 told that they think that thugs, you know, will protect them. Yeah, yeah, 0:27:28.800 --> 0:27:30.560 but we're just talking about height now. Yeah. 0:27:30.760 --> 0:27:33.560 Yeah. I think it's a subconscious thing, maybe back from 0:27:33.600 --> 0:27:37.040 cavemen time, where we were in that situation that we 0:27:37.080 --> 0:27:37.600 would need. 0:27:37.520 --> 0:27:38.320 To be protected. 0:27:38.880 --> 0:27:43.760 So it's not really as relevant now, thank goodness. But 0:27:43.800 --> 0:27:46.520 perhaps some still have that from them and they don't 0:27:46.520 --> 0:27:48.960 even know why they don't like a guy that's too short. 0:27:49.080 --> 0:27:52.400 But again, most people are quite happy with someone that's 0:27:52.640 --> 0:27:56.880 maybe just a couple of inches taller. But again, I've 0:27:56.920 --> 0:27:59.879 known many people that are very happy with someone that 0:28:00.640 --> 0:28:03.159 short or taller, depending on which way it's around, and 0:28:03.359 --> 0:28:04.320 haven't got a problem. 0:28:04.960 --> 0:28:08.240 At the other extreme, I have seen really tall guys 0:28:08.480 --> 0:28:09.760 with really petite women. 0:28:10.800 --> 0:28:13.760 Exactly, you've got to get a leck ache. Surely when 0:28:13.760 --> 0:28:18.840 you're bening down for a kiss, it would be a 0:28:18.840 --> 0:28:20.399 bit hard, and you stood as a girl that you 0:28:20.400 --> 0:28:22.040 were under revamped or something, wouldn't you. 0:28:22.960 --> 0:28:26.439 Yes, I suppose so. But you know, they seem like 0:28:26.520 --> 0:28:29.960 they're happy enough. But I'm sure you're right. You know, 0:28:29.960 --> 0:28:33.920 it's the caveman thing, the atavistic thing. There's some programming 0:28:34.000 --> 0:28:38.120 in there that says, go for the bigger guy. Although 0:28:38.680 --> 0:28:42.560 I know a woman she was the mother of a 0:28:42.640 --> 0:28:45.920 girl I used to go out with, and her daughters 0:28:45.920 --> 0:28:48.480 were all fairly petite, and she said, oh, I know 0:28:48.520 --> 0:28:51.640 I should have married a taller man. So are they 0:28:51.680 --> 0:28:54.920 really thinking that far ahead? Taller man will give me 0:28:54.920 --> 0:28:55.600 bigger kids? 0:28:57.640 --> 0:28:59.880 I guess there could be a few that maybe a 0:29:00.080 --> 0:29:02.880 thinking that, especially if they've struggled with their own heighth, 0:29:02.880 --> 0:29:05.000 if they do feel that they're extra short they can't 0:29:05.000 --> 0:29:07.120 reach things. They think, well, hey, if I marry a 0:29:07.120 --> 0:29:10.560 short guy as well, then our offspring could be perhaps 0:29:10.640 --> 0:29:12.920 even shorter, and how will they cope in the world. 0:29:13.440 --> 0:29:16.400 So it could be that, but I think it's more 0:29:16.400 --> 0:29:19.640 of an afterthought rather than a planned thing of you know, 0:29:20.080 --> 0:29:22.480 how tall will my children be with whichever guy that 0:29:22.520 --> 0:29:26.360 I'm going for? So well, hopefully this anyway, most people 0:29:26.400 --> 0:29:28.520 I know don't tend to think that way, but it 0:29:28.560 --> 0:29:29.760 can be a good afterthought. 0:29:31.280 --> 0:29:35.480 Just thinking about the movie guys, you know, like Comphrey Bogart, 0:29:35.640 --> 0:29:38.200 he wasn't that short. I think he was five eight. 0:29:38.440 --> 0:29:41.360 I think somebody said he's between five five and a 0:29:41.400 --> 0:29:44.040 half and five nine and a half. Notice something going 0:29:44.080 --> 0:29:46.240 back to imperial because that works for us when we 0:29:46.320 --> 0:29:50.680 think about human height, do you think going back to 0:29:50.720 --> 0:29:53.760 the theme of what we're discussing here that short guys 0:29:53.920 --> 0:29:57.160 try harder for love. There's something about these short guys 0:29:57.200 --> 0:30:00.600 that are projecting something that comes across the green and 0:30:00.680 --> 0:30:02.320 works for them. 0:30:02.960 --> 0:30:08.040 I think so, yes, yes, And I think too if 0:30:08.080 --> 0:30:11.240 they do feel that height could be an issue or 0:30:11.320 --> 0:30:16.120 a challenge, then maybe they are putting more emphasis in 0:30:16.280 --> 0:30:19.840 being a great communicator or having a great sense of humor, 0:30:20.000 --> 0:30:23.080 or you know, being a really interesting person so that 0:30:23.240 --> 0:30:26.160 the issue of height isn't even an issue because they're 0:30:26.160 --> 0:30:29.880 such a dazzling personality. So perhaps that helps them hone 0:30:29.920 --> 0:30:32.560 other skills that can make them a lot more successful 0:30:32.600 --> 0:30:32.920 in life. 0:30:33.000 --> 0:30:35.840 In many areas, short guys try harder. 0:30:37.040 --> 0:30:39.880 They could, and they might actually get all the results 0:30:39.920 --> 0:30:43.120 as well, because maybe the tall ones are standing over 0:30:43.160 --> 0:30:44.840 in the corner and they're missing out on all the 0:30:44.840 --> 0:30:47.720 great girls because the short ones are going and actually 0:30:47.760 --> 0:30:48.720 asking them to dance. 0:30:49.600 --> 0:30:52.960 Yeah, yeah, well that could be right. And what about 0:30:53.360 --> 0:30:55.120 for tall women? Is it tougher for them? 0:30:56.040 --> 0:30:59.840 Absolutely? I do have quite a few people that I 0:30:59.920 --> 0:31:03.720 know over to taller and that the girls do find 0:31:03.760 --> 0:31:06.239 it that they'd rather not date anyone shorter because then 0:31:06.240 --> 0:31:09.200 they're conscious of or maybe I need to wear flat heels, 0:31:09.320 --> 0:31:12.440 or you know, I need to stoop down a bit myself. 0:31:13.000 --> 0:31:15.600 But that's only an a percentage. A lot of other 0:31:15.640 --> 0:31:18.560 women feel very comfortable with their height and are happy 0:31:18.600 --> 0:31:21.560 to wear heels. I mean, goodness, look at Nicole Kidman. 0:31:21.600 --> 0:31:23.680 I mean she's married two short guys, now, hasn't she? 0:31:24.400 --> 0:31:24.920 That's right? 0:31:25.040 --> 0:31:26.240 Yeah? 0:31:26.320 --> 0:31:30.080 Yeah, Well but then once again, you know, I mean, 0:31:30.760 --> 0:31:34.240 Urban's got a great music career, and Tom Cruise because 0:31:34.560 --> 0:31:39.120 got the fantastic career. Might as you thinking about it, 0:31:39.160 --> 0:31:41.440 of course, he really does go out of his way 0:31:41.760 --> 0:31:45.000 to do these really daring things. Is he trying to 0:31:45.000 --> 0:31:45.720 prove he's a man? 0:31:47.320 --> 0:31:49.960 Well you do wander that, don't you. You need to 0:31:50.000 --> 0:31:52.640 try a bit harder with the action movie, yes, make 0:31:52.720 --> 0:31:55.600 up for his fights. We'll never know, but I certainly 0:31:55.600 --> 0:31:56.720 think that's a possibility. 0:31:57.440 --> 0:31:59.240 But you know, I think back a couple of years 0:31:59.680 --> 0:32:02.360 at a gathering. I don't even know how I came 0:32:02.400 --> 0:32:05.120 to be there, but it was out on a rooftop 0:32:05.240 --> 0:32:07.440 terrace and lots of people were pretty happy. I think 0:32:07.440 --> 0:32:10.760 they'd had a few drinks or a few smokes or something. 0:32:11.080 --> 0:32:14.840 But there was a very attractive, tall woman who was 0:32:14.880 --> 0:32:19.040 explaining to me that she was basically looking for a 0:32:19.080 --> 0:32:22.800 man who was tall enough for her, and we all 0:32:22.840 --> 0:32:27.600 got an appraisal along the way. She was saying, I'm 0:32:27.640 --> 0:32:29.800 looking at that, and she's saying, you know, well you'd 0:32:29.800 --> 0:32:32.160 pass or you wouldn't pass, or whatever. Like I say, 0:32:32.200 --> 0:32:34.320 I think she had had a few drinks, but in 0:32:34.400 --> 0:32:36.960 vino veritas and all that, the mere fact that she 0:32:37.160 --> 0:32:40.440 was doing it liberated apparently after a couple of drinks 0:32:40.440 --> 0:32:42.240 shows that there was something on her mind, doesn't it. 0:32:42.880 --> 0:32:47.360 Absolutely, It obviously is something that she's constantly looking at 0:32:47.400 --> 0:32:50.440 and appraising in the search for who would be a 0:32:50.440 --> 0:32:53.040 good match for her. So obviously for her it was 0:32:53.080 --> 0:32:56.880 really important. And in fact, I've worked with guys that 0:32:56.960 --> 0:33:00.440 are fairly short as well, and they're very conscious of 0:33:00.520 --> 0:33:03.160 their height. So for example, a gentleman I worked with 0:33:03.760 --> 0:33:07.760 was five foot five and very very successful in business, 0:33:08.120 --> 0:33:10.880 good looking guy, really, you know, had his own business, 0:33:11.080 --> 0:33:15.200 was really great. But when we talked about putting him 0:33:15.240 --> 0:33:18.480 onto a dating site and putting the height there, he 0:33:18.680 --> 0:33:21.040 was like, oh, do I. 0:33:21.000 --> 0:33:23.000 Have to do I have to put it on there. 0:33:23.680 --> 0:33:26.240 I said, well, actually yeah, and we can't lie because 0:33:26.720 --> 0:33:29.320 if you add an extra couple of inches. As soon 0:33:29.360 --> 0:33:31.320 as someone meets you, they know, and then of course 0:33:31.360 --> 0:33:33.960 they think, well, hang on, well he's definitely not say 0:33:34.440 --> 0:33:37.400 five eight or nine like you said, so what else 0:33:37.520 --> 0:33:40.320 are they lying about? So then you've got that sort 0:33:40.360 --> 0:33:43.920 of distrust perhaps of what else could be wrong. So 0:33:43.960 --> 0:33:47.000 I said, look, put on exactly how tall you are, 0:33:47.120 --> 0:33:49.600 because we want to cut out all the women that 0:33:49.680 --> 0:33:52.320 aren't interested in someone your height, so then you can 0:33:52.360 --> 0:33:54.800 concentrate on all the women that are interested in someone 0:33:54.960 --> 0:33:58.280 your height and many other things that you've got that 0:33:58.440 --> 0:34:01.520 are assets. So I sort of talked him into her, 0:34:01.640 --> 0:34:04.400 and before he knew it, he connected with this wonderful 0:34:04.440 --> 0:34:05.880 woman and height was not an issues. 0:34:06.560 --> 0:34:08.839 That's a great that's a great result. I was going 0:34:08.920 --> 0:34:10.920 to say, you could have pointed out that he was 0:34:10.920 --> 0:34:12.720 a lot taller when he was sitting on his wallet. 0:34:15.280 --> 0:34:19.120 I could have, and he would have been. But that's 0:34:19.120 --> 0:34:22.400 not what we're all looking for. You know, good money 0:34:22.400 --> 0:34:25.919 and height doesn't always equal long term great relationships, that's 0:34:25.920 --> 0:34:26.360 for sure. 0:34:27.160 --> 0:34:30.600 No, obviously like that. You obviously did the right thing 0:34:30.600 --> 0:34:33.160 by him there. Karina appreciates your time and comments. Is 0:34:33.160 --> 0:34:34.760 always thank you for coming on the program. 0:34:35.160 --> 0:34:36.520 Oh, what's a pleasure. Thanks Mike. 0:34:36.760 --> 0:34:42.279 Karina Chapman Daty, coach, founder of Aligned Connections. Talking about 0:34:42.320 --> 0:34:45.440 the taller Nosity, Greg says, Mike, I work with a 0:34:45.440 --> 0:34:49.680 lot of security in pubs and a lot have lifts 0:34:49.719 --> 0:34:54.560 in their shoes. How about that they look more imposing 0:34:54.600 --> 0:34:59.000 when they're telling somebody to get out? Sharon said, ladies 0:34:59.040 --> 0:35:03.840 need a man taller of their high heels to accommodate that. Yes. 0:35:04.560 --> 0:35:07.920 As for the panel shows, Mick says, yes, the sports 0:35:07.920 --> 0:35:11.279 panel shows are growing all the time. Remember last year 0:35:11.280 --> 0:35:14.440 on one, panelists described Albanezi going into the winner's rooms 0:35:14.480 --> 0:35:19.439 after the game as sickening. Yes, very appropriate term, says Mick. 0:35:20.080 --> 0:35:22.640 And speaking of sports, a. 0:35:22.400 --> 0:35:26.680 Sports update thanks to west End Motor Group incorporating Paramatta 0:35:26.760 --> 0:35:30.960 and Blacktown Master, two great master dealerships, same great people, 0:35:31.239 --> 0:35:33.920 same great service, seven days a week. 0:35:34.960 --> 0:35:38.240 The Bulldogs held onto top spot on the NRL Ladder 0:35:38.239 --> 0:35:41.440 with the twenty four to eighteen win over South's despite 0:35:41.480 --> 0:35:46.719 missing four Origin stars and of course that dramatic weather 0:35:46.880 --> 0:35:51.480 delay that was quite the five minute storm in Sydney. 0:35:52.680 --> 0:35:54.960 Play halted for twenty eight minutes in the first half 0:35:54.960 --> 0:35:58.680 when lightning struck near a Course Stadium, forcing players, officials 0:35:58.719 --> 0:36:01.960 and fans to see cover. It was the first lightning 0:36:02.040 --> 0:36:06.680 stoppage in nearly a decade, echoing a twenty fifteen Anzac 0:36:06.760 --> 0:36:10.120 Day match. Despite the drama, Canterbury claimed their eleventh winner 0:36:10.120 --> 0:36:14.399 of the season, keeping their Premiership push on track. 0:36:16.280 --> 0:36:20.160 And now on Wake Up Australia. Artist in the Spotlight. 0:36:22.040 --> 0:36:24.040 I thought I'd play this in honor of the Beach Boys, 0:36:24.080 --> 0:36:31.000 because you know, the the Marian Wilson boy passed away 0:36:31.280 --> 0:36:34.880 last week. But for some reason, somebody put a photo 0:36:34.920 --> 0:36:41.080 of the lads up on Facebook and people sent me 0:36:41.160 --> 0:36:44.120 copies of it, and the caption to the photo of 0:36:44.160 --> 0:36:48.319 the mature age Beach Boys was I didn't know Mike 0:36:48.400 --> 0:36:53.600 Jeffries was in the Beach Boys. And the allegation is 0:36:53.640 --> 0:36:57.239 that in this photo I kind of looked like Mike 0:36:57.360 --> 0:37:02.080 Love So I tested it on the backroom guys here 0:37:02.120 --> 0:37:05.120 and they said, well, maybe yes, kind of a little bit. 0:37:05.400 --> 0:37:09.320 The least I can do is play this song, yes 0:37:09.560 --> 0:37:15.080 in Tookemo they're the Beach Boys. I don't really think 0:37:15.120 --> 0:37:18.879 I look like Mike Love. Well, I don't know. People 0:37:18.920 --> 0:37:21.480 say maybe a little bit. We will have the news 0:37:21.680 --> 0:37:24.879 and in the next portion of the program. I want 0:37:24.920 --> 0:37:28.600 to talk to A. G. Gankowski about, of course, among 0:37:28.640 --> 0:37:32.759 other things, whether we're really getting in the recognition and 0:37:34.680 --> 0:37:38.719 Trump's meeting with Elbow. Anyway, we'll explore that after the 0:37:38.760 --> 0:37:54.440 news now on. 0:37:54.360 --> 0:37:58.960 Two GV for BC and network stations. Back to Wake 0:37:59.080 --> 0:38:02.560 Up Australia with Mike Jeffries. 0:38:03.040 --> 0:38:06.000 Good morning, welcome to the program, Welcome to the new day, 0:38:06.080 --> 0:38:09.399 the new week and all that if you just joined us. 0:38:10.080 --> 0:38:13.200 I'm looking at the Finn Review here on the front page. 0:38:13.239 --> 0:38:18.720 It has, among other stories, we're doing our bit PM 0:38:19.360 --> 0:38:23.560 to tell Trump this is about the face to face 0:38:24.000 --> 0:38:30.879 scheduled between Donald Trump and Albow in Canada. That's how 0:38:30.920 --> 0:38:33.920 we see it here. Well, according to finn Review. I 0:38:34.040 --> 0:38:36.520 like to talk to A. G. Gankowski from the New 0:38:36.600 --> 0:38:40.440 York Post to see how he sees it from where 0:38:40.480 --> 0:38:43.560 he is. Good morning, Age, thanks for doing this. 0:38:44.600 --> 0:38:46.120 Good morning Mike, thanks for having me. 0:38:47.560 --> 0:38:50.720 Would I be wrong in saying this probably isn't getting 0:38:50.719 --> 0:38:52.640 a lot of coverage where you are, the fact that 0:38:53.040 --> 0:38:55.839 Albanisi and Trump are going to meet in a couple 0:38:55.880 --> 0:38:59.040 of days. 0:38:58.400 --> 0:39:02.359 There's a why that's knocking down the headlines right now, 0:39:02.920 --> 0:39:07.080 and it shouldn't be but with the war between Israel 0:39:07.120 --> 0:39:13.840 and Iran, the protests, the Presidence military parade. Yeah, I 0:39:13.840 --> 0:39:17.000 mean it's an important issue and it's important to keep 0:39:17.040 --> 0:39:21.319 that BI a lot of relationship. But Donald Trump's got 0:39:21.320 --> 0:39:25.959 a lot on his plate right now. So yeah, I think, 0:39:26.120 --> 0:39:29.239 especially with China always being in the picture, Australia is 0:39:29.280 --> 0:39:33.719 always going to be important and I expect there will 0:39:33.760 --> 0:39:35.840 be some news come out of this this week, but 0:39:37.360 --> 0:39:41.040 it's not something that people are really looking forward to 0:39:41.200 --> 0:39:43.399 and in the news cycle, per Se. 0:39:44.160 --> 0:39:47.160 I was thinking about something that you said last time 0:39:47.160 --> 0:39:52.279 we spoke. You can choose the US or China. I 0:39:52.320 --> 0:39:55.200 think this government's being a little bit vague on that. 0:39:56.080 --> 0:39:58.160 I don't know how significant disease in the long run, 0:39:58.239 --> 0:40:02.600 but they're not actually supporting the two right wingers in 0:40:02.640 --> 0:40:07.560 the Knesset, and Albot keeps saying, oh, we're friends with 0:40:07.640 --> 0:40:09.839 the US. Well, yes, we like to think that we are. 0:40:10.680 --> 0:40:12.719 But I just wonder if he's playing on that a 0:40:12.719 --> 0:40:15.960 little bit too much. I think Trump might expect a 0:40:15.960 --> 0:40:19.799 bit more than just hey, Donald, we might I think 0:40:19.800 --> 0:40:23.560 he really does want to see other countries come to 0:40:23.600 --> 0:40:26.680 the party when it comes to more money being spent 0:40:26.719 --> 0:40:29.240 from g DP on defense. 0:40:31.200 --> 0:40:36.120 Yeah, absolutely, And I consider with Donald Trump, and as 0:40:36.120 --> 0:40:38.880 with all politicians, there are things said for public assumption 0:40:39.719 --> 0:40:43.680 and things said in private, so there's always a gap 0:40:43.719 --> 0:40:48.880 between the two. With President Trump, and you know, my 0:40:49.640 --> 0:40:53.080 expectation is that and there will be some sort of 0:40:53.120 --> 0:40:55.719 much understanding, there will be some positives to build on 0:40:56.280 --> 0:40:59.759 after the meeting. What they are, I can't predict this, 0:41:00.880 --> 0:41:04.480 but I think you will get some commitments from the 0:41:04.520 --> 0:41:06.480 Australian side to do a little bit more. 0:41:07.280 --> 0:41:11.000 So when it comes to what's happening in the Middle East, 0:41:12.360 --> 0:41:14.239 it was pointed out to me on the weekend, and 0:41:14.320 --> 0:41:16.799 you know, I went into it a bit more and 0:41:16.800 --> 0:41:21.800 looked at dates and times when what happened did and 0:41:21.920 --> 0:41:23.719 I think it's pretty fair to say that there would 0:41:23.760 --> 0:41:28.360 be people in Iran who really want to see regime change, 0:41:28.400 --> 0:41:30.799 but not in the position to do it themselves, but 0:41:30.960 --> 0:41:36.280 may very well be giving useful information to the Israeli 0:41:36.560 --> 0:41:38.759 ed forces. 0:41:39.280 --> 0:41:41.799 Yeah. I mean we've been hearing that there have been 0:41:41.960 --> 0:41:45.680 elements in Ronda when regime changed for forty five years now, 0:41:46.840 --> 0:41:51.080 so that's nothing new. And every time that you know, 0:41:51.560 --> 0:41:55.920 tensions flare up between the US and Israel, and Iran 0:41:56.600 --> 0:42:00.560 we see more of that. I think what we see 0:42:00.600 --> 0:42:05.920 with those stunning targeted attacks as political assassinations put off 0:42:05.960 --> 0:42:09.720 by Israel on the first day is you know, Israel 0:42:09.960 --> 0:42:13.440 has that advantage in terms of targeting, in terms of 0:42:13.480 --> 0:42:16.360 knowing where these people are. You know, they're using things 0:42:16.400 --> 0:42:21.160 like Palenteer and you know, they they've got that intelligence 0:42:21.320 --> 0:42:24.960 edge that may just be a little bit more than 0:42:25.080 --> 0:42:28.640 people inside. But you got to consider also that at 0:42:28.640 --> 0:42:31.440 this point there are masade elements that are at the 0:42:31.520 --> 0:42:35.840 highest elements of of the Iranian government. There are people 0:42:35.840 --> 0:42:39.440 with knowledge and that comes into play too. So you know, 0:42:39.719 --> 0:42:43.919 it's it's really something where you know, I think it's 0:42:44.160 --> 0:42:48.360 the two things going together, but you know, regime changes, 0:42:48.560 --> 0:42:51.759 that's something ultimately, you know, the the Iranians are going 0:42:51.760 --> 0:42:57.680 to have to do. Trump allegedly said no to assassinating Kamani, 0:42:58.360 --> 0:43:01.799 and that's been reported to the US press today. Whether 0:43:01.920 --> 0:43:04.319 that's true or whether that's you know, faith is just 0:43:04.440 --> 0:43:10.399 there to be provocative. That's a matter of interpretation, and of. 0:43:10.280 --> 0:43:14.279 Course, you know, to be really blunt about it, does 0:43:14.320 --> 0:43:16.399 it really make that much difference what he thinks ought 0:43:16.440 --> 0:43:17.680 to be done? 0:43:19.320 --> 0:43:20.280 What are you taling about Trump. 0:43:21.280 --> 0:43:24.799 Yeah, I mean, okay, I mean the position that we 0:43:24.880 --> 0:43:30.680 see here is with the Israelis attacking the nucleosides to 0:43:30.719 --> 0:43:35.480 begin with, at least Trump is saying, hey, I didn't 0:43:36.120 --> 0:43:39.280 say to do that, but he's kind of it seems saying, 0:43:39.760 --> 0:43:41.600 you know, but I did in a way, or what 0:43:41.680 --> 0:43:45.399 I've done is contributed to what Netanya who had to do. 0:43:47.200 --> 0:43:51.720 Yeah, I mean, and really there there is cooperation between 0:43:51.719 --> 0:43:55.239 the US and Israel and US is it going to 0:43:55.280 --> 0:43:58.120 be US troops, you know, such as we saw in 0:43:58.160 --> 0:44:01.880 Iraq or Afghanistan. I don't think so. In terms of 0:44:02.160 --> 0:44:08.080 air resources, in terms of logistical support, there is that cooperation. 0:44:08.640 --> 0:44:10.759 Trump is kind of in a box here because there 0:44:10.760 --> 0:44:13.479 are a lot of people and then Make America Great 0:44:13.480 --> 0:44:19.480 Again movement of his popular space who are tired of 0:44:19.560 --> 0:44:22.960 Middle Eastern Wars. I mean, if you're an American under 0:44:23.000 --> 0:44:26.359 the age of you know, fifty, you've seen the Middle 0:44:26.400 --> 0:44:30.480 Eastern War your entire adult life. There's a rock one 0:44:30.640 --> 0:44:37.120 rock to Afghanistan, and it hasn't really benefited the average 0:44:37.160 --> 0:44:41.440 American in terms of quality of life, in terms of 0:44:41.560 --> 0:44:44.640 standard of living. Now, if you own defense stocks that 0:44:44.920 --> 0:44:47.879 it has benefited to you if you're a contractor has 0:44:47.920 --> 0:44:53.080 benefited you, but you by and large, these these wars 0:44:53.120 --> 0:44:56.399 in the US position in the least is something that 0:44:57.520 --> 0:45:01.200 it's popular as older people and younger people, and it's 0:45:01.200 --> 0:45:06.080 something that you know, mab that requires Trump to play 0:45:06.120 --> 0:45:10.719 it a little bit quieter than he otherwise might. Then 0:45:10.760 --> 0:45:12.960 he might this had happened in his first turn. 0:45:14.719 --> 0:45:20.799 Different reactions. There are different reactions about these street demos. 0:45:21.000 --> 0:45:23.919 I was looking at the leader of the Greens having 0:45:23.920 --> 0:45:26.440 a lovely, warm chat with a lady on the ABC, 0:45:27.040 --> 0:45:32.040 and they're blaming Trump for everything, including Paul Lauren being 0:45:32.520 --> 0:45:36.000 shot in the foot by the copper. You know, I'm 0:45:36.040 --> 0:45:38.280 sorry that happened to Laurence. She reports on the program, 0:45:38.400 --> 0:45:41.600 does a great job, but I don't know if you 0:45:41.600 --> 0:45:44.959 can directly hold Trump responsible for that. On the other hand, 0:45:45.440 --> 0:45:47.120 I don't know what you think about The Hill, but 0:45:47.160 --> 0:45:49.960 it seems to me, although it's a little bit left leaning, 0:45:50.000 --> 0:45:55.200 it's one of the more sane publications over there, you know, 0:45:55.239 --> 0:45:59.440 in Washington, and they're saying that these street demos a 0:46:00.080 --> 0:46:04.520 really creating a very narrow path for the Democrats to walk. 0:46:04.640 --> 0:46:07.160 Going back to what you said about the people who 0:46:07.200 --> 0:46:11.160 support Trump, I mean, if the Democrats come out too 0:46:11.160 --> 0:46:15.200 strongly and seem to be supporting the street demos, which 0:46:15.200 --> 0:46:18.960 some people say are being funded and organized, then it's 0:46:19.040 --> 0:46:20.960 a bit too easy for Trump to say, well, look 0:46:21.000 --> 0:46:23.279 at California, let the Democrats run the place, and this 0:46:23.320 --> 0:46:24.320 is what happens. 0:46:25.600 --> 0:46:29.320 Yeah, I mean that's a very perceptive point, because these 0:46:29.320 --> 0:46:35.759 protests do not benefit Democratic Party apparatus. I mean Democratic Party. Yes, 0:46:36.400 --> 0:46:40.839 they're farther left in Republicans, but they're basically corporate centrists. 0:46:41.200 --> 0:46:45.360 They're much like Republicans work twenty five years ago. So 0:46:46.280 --> 0:46:50.040 there's not really They want that youthful energy that can 0:46:50.080 --> 0:46:53.799 be helpful during elections, but they don't have candidates to 0:46:53.840 --> 0:46:57.400 match up to it. They don't have political figures they 0:46:57.440 --> 0:47:01.000 can really respond to all of the the laundry list 0:47:01.080 --> 0:47:03.880 of things that the protesters want. Because you've got some 0:47:04.000 --> 0:47:06.360 who are pro homos, You've got some here pro Mexican, 0:47:07.000 --> 0:47:09.280 You've got others that can play other issues in there. 0:47:09.840 --> 0:47:14.239 It's it's a coalition of extremes, but the overlap is 0:47:14.280 --> 0:47:18.640 not absolute, and it's not really a political a politically 0:47:18.760 --> 0:47:24.120 viable coalition. It's it's reminiscent actually of the January sixth 0:47:24.120 --> 0:47:29.120 protests back in twenty twenty one, that that Trump struggle 0:47:29.239 --> 0:47:33.239 to keep under under wraps. And I think the commentary 0:47:33.280 --> 0:47:36.000 with both is that you have for boxwarves, you have 0:47:36.120 --> 0:47:39.600 people who aren't part of the coren movements. We are 0:47:39.640 --> 0:47:43.400 brought in to sort of make things go in a 0:47:43.520 --> 0:47:48.000 direction that isn't constructive for the aims of the protest. 0:47:48.920 --> 0:47:52.440 And you know, that's a that's a common threat of 0:47:52.480 --> 0:47:56.000 all American protests movements. Something is big enough, and you 0:47:56.080 --> 0:48:00.000 know it's being infiltrayed by somebody, you know, And that's 0:48:00.520 --> 0:48:03.040 I think the case with these No Kings protests. And 0:48:03.120 --> 0:48:09.160 we saw political assassination loosely linked to the No Kings. 0:48:09.280 --> 0:48:14.600 A couple of lawmakers in Minnesota were shot by a 0:48:14.600 --> 0:48:18.160 guy with No Kings flyers in this car. You know, 0:48:19.239 --> 0:48:22.640 is that correlation or causation? The fact that we're discussing 0:48:22.719 --> 0:48:25.239 it eraises questions for really some people. 0:48:25.360 --> 0:48:29.600 Well even here, people you know who don't necessarily follow 0:48:29.640 --> 0:48:36.040 the news that closely, have noticed that the protests, if 0:48:36.040 --> 0:48:38.520 we can call them that, to being supplied with some 0:48:39.120 --> 0:48:42.479 very fancy gear to protect themselves against rubber bullets and 0:48:42.719 --> 0:48:46.280 mice gas and the kind of thing that the police 0:48:46.280 --> 0:48:52.960 are using to quell the mobs. And somebody on social 0:48:53.000 --> 0:48:54.799 media said they're get off at one hundred and fifty 0:48:54.840 --> 0:48:57.640 bucks a day to protest. Somebody else said they are 0:48:57.640 --> 0:49:00.640 off for two hundred bucks a day. So the usual suspects, 0:49:00.640 --> 0:49:04.799 you know, George Sarrs and people like that, and once 0:49:04.840 --> 0:49:07.880 again suspected of helping it all along. 0:49:09.760 --> 0:49:11.920 Yeah, I mean, and we have the same discussions in 0:49:11.960 --> 0:49:15.200 this country too, And there are West wing movements that 0:49:15.239 --> 0:49:19.799 are they have their fingerprints on the process. But you 0:49:19.840 --> 0:49:21.920 know there's also the you know, you pay somebody all 0:49:21.960 --> 0:49:24.279 the duvil back, you know, you give them, you know, 0:49:24.400 --> 0:49:27.359 cash and you have them go at it. And yeah, yeah, 0:49:27.520 --> 0:49:31.520 that's that's a familiar way for people to make some 0:49:31.560 --> 0:49:35.800 pocket change, people who aren't conventionally employable into the worst. 0:49:36.680 --> 0:49:39.880 Apparently, he g you appreciate your time and comments is 0:49:39.880 --> 0:49:41.400 always thanks for coming on the program. 0:49:42.480 --> 0:49:44.160 Thank you have a great week, you too. 0:49:44.640 --> 0:49:48.640 That's a G. Gankowski from the New York Post. He's 0:49:48.719 --> 0:49:53.200 a journalist and commentator for that publication. I'm looking to 0:49:53.200 --> 0:49:56.399 text here from Ian. You going back to the tool 0:49:56.440 --> 0:49:59.600 guy thing again. Ian, He says, Mike, I've learned a 0:49:59.600 --> 0:50:03.320 bit more or on your show, Ree Young Albow, should 0:50:03.360 --> 0:50:08.480 we have a bigger man when meeting Trump? Without being nasty? 0:50:08.680 --> 0:50:12.440 Ian says, I just wondered, will he win up against 0:50:12.600 --> 0:50:16.879 big Trump. I don't know. In time will tell. I 0:50:16.920 --> 0:50:20.640 think he's, as I said to Age, he's overdoing the 0:50:20.719 --> 0:50:25.239 we're friends, we're friends. I think Trump is expecting more 0:50:25.280 --> 0:50:30.560 than that. Myself talking about the short men, because if 0:50:30.600 --> 0:50:33.600 you just joined us, we're talking about short men syndrome. 0:50:33.880 --> 0:50:35.960 And I was commenting on the fact that a lot 0:50:36.000 --> 0:50:42.879 of the classic heroes in the movies where these giant platforms, 0:50:42.960 --> 0:50:49.000 particularly when they're standing next to a female, And Michael says, 0:50:49.600 --> 0:50:52.480 how do these short men get those roles? Well, it's 0:50:52.480 --> 0:50:56.319 a good question, I guess he. Michael says, you don't 0:50:56.360 --> 0:50:59.239 see a short ass. James Bond, Well, we looked it 0:50:59.360 --> 0:51:03.080 up and you're right. Most of them are over six 0:51:03.239 --> 0:51:09.080 foot except Daniel Craig is five ten. That's not exactly short. 0:51:09.200 --> 0:51:12.720 But did he wear lifts? I don't really know. Connery 0:51:12.840 --> 0:51:15.680 was six two, Lesibie was six to Timothy Dalton six one 0:51:15.719 --> 0:51:18.360 and a half, Roger Moore six to one, and Pierce 0:51:18.440 --> 0:51:25.760 Brosnan six to one. So they all met Fleming's description 0:51:25.960 --> 0:51:29.200 because when Ian Fleming wrote the book, he said James 0:51:29.280 --> 0:51:31.920 Bond was six foot me. I got to get out 0:51:31.920 --> 0:51:33.480 of here in a minute, well a minute and a 0:51:33.480 --> 0:51:37.120 half actually. Ben Fordham will be along after the news 0:51:37.200 --> 0:51:40.719 on two GB and he'll be followed by Mark Levy 0:51:40.760 --> 0:51:43.000 at at the nine o'clock news and coming up on 0:51:43.040 --> 0:51:48.319 four PC. Peter Figan Christ from Ingerdean says, you're like me. 0:51:48.440 --> 0:51:51.880 The metric system since nineteen seventy one, but still people 0:51:51.920 --> 0:51:56.320 think of people's height in feet and inches and widescreen TVs. 0:51:57.600 --> 0:52:00.200 I think it works better for certain things. I don't 0:52:00.200 --> 0:52:05.640 think the metric system helped us much. See Fred here 0:52:06.360 --> 0:52:11.279 has a cause to meet, He says, I Mike, it's 0:52:11.320 --> 0:52:15.840 time to stop the use of oh when it's zero, 0:52:16.200 --> 0:52:19.400 Oh is not a number? Yeah, I agree, but it's 0:52:19.480 --> 0:52:22.880 kind of easier to say, isn't it. Please help the cause? 0:52:23.239 --> 0:52:27.280 Thanks Fred from Wilson Craft. Look, I do my best. 0:52:28.400 --> 0:52:32.399 I say zero when it's zero. 0:52:34.080 --> 0:52:34.400 Yes. 0:52:35.440 --> 0:52:40.120 Now we've got a comment here saying that Trump is 0:52:40.160 --> 0:52:44.439 going to have elbow for breakfast. We need to get 0:52:44.520 --> 0:52:48.239 rid of the illegal migrants here. Well, that's what I mean. 0:52:48.640 --> 0:52:52.840 I think a lot of folks support what Trump is doing, 0:52:53.800 --> 0:52:57.840 but that's what we were discussing with mister Gankarski. Anyway, 0:52:58.440 --> 0:53:00.839 I think I did everything I wanted to Chinese bank 0:53:00.920 --> 0:53:03.799 bud from offering customers free Laboo boo dolls. But I 0:53:03.800 --> 0:53:07.359 guess that can waite have a good week. I just 0:53:07.600 --> 0:53:12.080 dropped in to see what condition my condition was in. 0:53:13.360 --> 0:53:16.759 Yeah yeah, oh yeah, what condition 0:53:17.040 --> 0:53:18.440 My condition was in.
